Well, I tried!

Today I have attempted to take photographs of our stock. Here's what happened: after finally getting the background and lighting set up perfectly I turned on my camera to find the batteries had died. 'OK' I thought, they where after all just the cheap ones that came with the camera. So I opened a fresh pack of Kodak's and popped them in. 2 minutes later the low battery warning was flashing. I put in a second batch, switched it on and did nothing with the camera - just watched the LCD screen. 2 MINUTES of the camera doing nothing and the battery died again! I charged up re-chargeable batteries. These gave me 15 minutes of shooting time and when I turned the camera back on after leaving it switched off for a couple of hours while I ate dinner and caught up on Gossip Girl, you guessed it - batteries dead! Man im pissed. I called the website I bought it from (a big electronics company in the UK) I was told that it didn't sound like a fault (!!!!!) and that I wasn't entitled to a refund as I'd owned the camera for 14 days. I pointed out that the terms and conditions printed on the website state that I have the choice of an exchange or refund if it becomes faulty within 28 days to which she just said 'Oh, yes'.

I am ringing them again tommorow. Wish me (or more likely them) look!
